Private Garry Towner, Assault Pioneers, is comforting a Vietnamese child in the village of Duc Thanh while Cpl Sorenson 'plumbs' a post as they erect a winch so the women can retrieve water from the well.
Assault Pioneers of 5RAR returned a few weeks later to discover that the "Liberators of the People" had destroyed the well.
